She’s here! Clara Rose Willard. Born Thursday 2/9, 7lb 13oz, 21.5 inches long. We absolutely love her.Thank you all for the sweet comments and excitement. They were really fun to read while sitting in my hospital bed, getting to know this little girl.

Clara is the best baby I’ve had so far. Fingers crossed that things stay that way. But really, she’s just a happy girl. Eats, sleeps, and when she’s awake, just looks around with her pretty little eyes. She seems so curious.She has chubby little cheeks like the other kids did, the most hair of any of them (which I’m sure will fall out and come in blonde), and the wrinkliest feet I’ve ever seen.The delivery went great….just as you all predicted. In fact the doctor almost missed it all. I went from being “almost ready” to “um, there’s the head. Quick call the doctor” in a very short period of time. My doctor walked in the room, threw on her gear, I pushed, and there was Clara. I feel very fortunate since it’s made the recovery all that much easier.

It all felt surreal, moving that fast. And boy there is nothing in life that compares to experiencing birth….whether you’re the mother, the father, or the nurse in the room assisting with it all. In fact after Lucy was born I wanted to become a nurse because I was so touched by the whole birth experience. I started the schooling but didn’t get far because then Owen was born. And now with the amount of time I spend on creative outlets, it may never happen. But I have such a respect for the care those nurses gave me. They were all fabulous and I’m jealous that they get to witness births every day. How cool.We brought the Heart Garland with us to decorate our Valentine’s crib. The nurses thought it was pretty fun.And the kids weren’t quite sure what to make of Clara at first. They were super excited and smiled when they saw her…but then glanced out the window, “hey Mom, there’s a park down the street!” And when she started crying they both plugged their ears because it was “just too loud.” They’ve got a lot to look forward to!

Little by little though, they warmed up her.getting closer and closer,so we could take a pic of all three kids.and then it was back to playing games on Dad’s phone.Since we’ve been home though they’ve been more interested in what Clara is doing and wanting to help out where they can.We’re so blessed to have another sweet child in our family. Thank you for your emails, comments, prayers, and thoughts. It’s fun to share this moment with you guys. I’m not sure what the next few weeks hold or how much I’ll be blogging. I don’t feel super motivated for it at the moment. But when the time is right, I’ll pop in. And I do plan to do a mini “Celebrate Baby” sometime soon since I have a few baby projects stock-piled.Have a great week, – Dana

Hooray! I’m so excited for all of you! She is just beautiful and I’m really looking forward to watching her grow up on your blog. I love the name Clara too. Thanks so much for sharing your story with us–it makes me remember how special the births of my own were. (And it made me consider training as a midwife too).

Congratulations! She is beautiful. I have been watching to see the pictures. So glad the delivery went well. I can’t wait to see and hear more about her and how the kids adjust to having a little tiny one in the house!

What a beautiful baby! Even though we’ve never met, I love to sew and I too have three kiddos so I’ve love your blog. I couldn’t wait to hear your baby’s name because I too have an Owen (and a William and a Caroline) and William’s name was going to be Lucy if he was a girl. We are hoping to adopt a Lucy (or a Finnegan) soon! I love that you took your heart garland to the hospital. Enjoy falling in love with baby Clara and thanks for sharing!

I’ve been checking daily to hear the news!! Congrats and thanks for sharing. I am super excited for you and your family, what a blessing she is! We’ll be adding a second child (another little man) to our family in about 5 weeks and this has me so excited, and teary-eyed, blame it on the hormones 😉

Congrats! Been excitedly waiting to see the pictures! 🙂 Babies are so wonderful… I have 3 and am expecting #4…. So glad I didn’t stop at one… i’d be sad to only have one wonderful…. They are worth it all! Take it easy and don’t do to much at once. Even if you feel great… it will catch up to you.

it’s funny–i’ve been checking back on a daily basis to see how your family was doing. so glad to hear that everything went smoothly. we’ll certainly miss you while you’re busy bonding with your little girl, but i know you’ll enjoy every moment with your family.

Wow, such wonderful pictures! I had so much fun looking at all of them and I think you’ll have a great time getting to know your little, sweet Clara! Take all the time you need instead of blogging – although we’re gonna miss you, there’s more important things to do right now!!! Greetings from Germany -again-!

Congratulations, she is adorable! And has such great hair! Hope you are adjusting well to your new family of 5! I’m really nervous about biting the bullet and having a third… so it’s reassuring to see such a sweet little baby. Makes me think maybe I can do it some day!

She is beautiful! Those cute little chubby cheeks make me melt! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve checked your blog waiting for these sweet pics. What a doll! So glad that labor and delivery went so smoothly for you! Take it easy and don’t worry about the updates. Everyone understands how busy you will be snuggling that sweey little darling! :o) Congratulations!

I’m SO happy for you! I love, love, love your blog and just made my little boys (3 and 1) some darling shorts thanks to your fabulous tutorials. Thanks for sharing so many wonderful and inspiring ideas! I wish you and your family a wonderful babymoon. Oooooh… and now I’m really wanting another baby of my own!

She looks just like Owen! And so mature and alert for a newborn. Congratulations on your baby and your birth experience! Take your time healing; we’ll all be here, looking at pictures of Ms. Clara Rose again and again until you return.

SO happy for you all! What a gift. Both the birth and the little one. Take your time getting back to blogging. We will miss you, but those babies only stay small for so long . . . enjoy it while it lasts. 🙂 And for goodness sakes, girl . . . get some rest!

Congratulations!!! Clara is a beautiful girl! I love her chubby cheeks and her hair! I’ve been also checking daily to get news, thinking on you and sending positive energy. I am happy to hear that the delivery was fast and smooth! And you look gorgeous!!! Enjoy this happiness!!! Many xox to the whole family!

Congratulations! She is adorable – and looks just like you in one of those pictures!

My boys both had about that much hair at birth and it never fell out so you never know. My older son’s was dark, dark brown and then it started growing in blond, so people asked me if I’d dyed his hair. Nope, but it was cute (and funny).

Well she is just GORGEOUS! So much pretty hair! She looks so alert for a brand new baby! The name is beautiful! And I am laughing so hard that you thought to decorate the hospital crib!!!!!! What a beautiful time in your life!

Very happy that your delivery went so well. My 3rd is 11 months old today. He was also born very quickly and it was surreal for me too. (Plus we didn’t find out his gender ahead of time, so that added to the surreal feeling.)

Cute how Lucy and Owen reacted too. My oldest two were the same when they came to meet their new baby brother. They were more interested in the cool bed, which we let them sit in and ‘ride on’.

She’s just absolutely so sweet. Hope the next few weeks bring joy and rest….we know you’ll be back to blogging eventually, but Clara will only be tiny for a few minutes. Take your time. Enjoy! And congratulations!

She’s beautiful! I love the pictures of her in the hospital bed with her little feet sticking out of the gown, too cute! I’ve been trying to get pregnant for a while now, and these pictures remind me of why were trying to so hard! 🙂 Enjoy your little blessing

You just made me all teary-eyed! What a perfect joy, having a baby in the house. HUGE congratulations (with just the teensiest touch of envy) on your new happy baby. She is, naturally, PERFECT and I couldn’t be more excited for all of you. Thrilled that all went well, hope you’re getting lots of rest!

Congratulations to you all….certainly a most special time for Mom & Dad, as well as Big Sis and Big Brother!! Thanks so much for sharing the news of Clara’s arrival. I know you have heard it over and over..to enjoy each moment w/ the little ones. It can get crazy hard to do, but speaking from experience as a mom of my own six, plus little foster babies,..really cherish those moments!! Can’t wait to watch as your family grows!! P.s. I am a doula…have you given that some thought? YOU’d be awesome:) Get some rest:)))

The biggest congrats! She is so beautiful! And I think she looks a lot like Lucy in the first picture. Great idea to bring some home-made garlands to the hospital. Will pop some in my own hospital bag… which reminds me. I really need to pack a few more items! Can’t wait for the “celebrate baby”!

what a cutie patootie! my favorite shot is of your kids just staring at her & their comment about the park, so funny. & I am still amazed that you popped in to share after giving birth only a few days ago. i barely have time to brush my hair -let alone update my blog, ha ha! congrats!!

Dear Dana, What a beautiful little cute Clara! Wish you all the best! I will be a mummy for the second time in 15 weeks, seeing and feeling what you feel makes me feel a bit nervous, but ready for sudge a beautiful time!! Kisses Kitty (from Belgium)

Yay! She’s adorable and I’m so glad that the whole labor experience was fast and went well. Glad you got a hospital shot of all three! Love the name, too. Congrats Dana! I hope you’re eating up all the snuggles.

I love the shot of Clara on your tummy in the bed, I’m hoping to replicate that one in May, and I just might make a flower garland for my little Violet’s arrival, too. Even your little daughter’s birth has been inspiration to me. (And by way of confession, I have been refreshing the page far too often to admit! – Funny what fondness can build through a blog. Thanks for sharing your life with us.)

Congratulations to you and your family on the birth of your beautiful daughter! I have not been able to stop myself from popping in twice a day since Friday in the hope of an update! Clara Rose is beautiful! Such a lovely name too! You get your feet up, rest, and look forward to your valentines day with those you love! X

CONGRATULATIONS!!! She’s such a sweet girl, with a perfect name (my daughter’s name is Klara, by the way ;)…). I’m glad everything went so well. But don’t tell Owen and Lucy that she’s the best baby you’ve had ;).

congrats, she is beautiful!! what a sweet little face and I love her name. all the hair on that cute little head, love it! take all the time you need, everyone will be waiting here when you feel like returning! xoxo

I read your blog often but I don’t always comment- I couldn’t pass up the chance to comment this time though because Clara is SOOOO precious!!! I love that you took the heart garland too and what great photos you have taken! 🙂 Congratulations!!!

Love your crafts…and congratulations on the beautiful addition to your family. You have an adorable trio. I miss those days….all six of mine are grown, but have given me 10 glorious grandchildren in just under 10 years. (Two sets of twins helped up the number. God bless you and your lovely family!

Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl! I love, love, love the name! We talked about Clara if this one is a girl, but it doesn’t really go with our last name. (We decided on Violet Elizabeth instead). I’m so glad everything went well and I hope she stays easy!

She is beautiful, as you always knew she would be. They are so sweet when they are brand new, a tiny bit fuzzy, and just showing us their own personalities a little at a time. Enjoy her and try to rest. Been there, loved most minutes of it — every once in a while it was not so fun, but overall surely worth it all!

I have been reading your blog for a couple of years now…never left a comment…today is the day! Big congratulations on your cutie…she is the same weight as my Louis when he was born three months ago! Now he is 15lbs! Cant wait for you to write more but enjoy your time with your precious children first!!

She’s beautiful! I am so happy your labor went well and that your recovery seems to be quick as well- and to get an (so-far) easy baby is just an awesome blessing! Enjoy her! We’ll be here when you get back!

congratulations dana! i just love that pic, “back to games on dad’s iphone.” classic! reminds me of when i had my third child (daughter), back in the day it was “gameboy.” i didn’t let my boys play much with their gameboys, but since they were going to be in the hospital with me while i was in labor, i let them bring, and play with their gameboys. (they about your older ones ages!) they would stare up once in a while at me while i was in labor and then went back to their games. once sister came, they gave her attention. anyway, that photo made me laugh.

glad that you and baby are both in good health!!!!! 🙂 you looks so gorgeous for someone who has just given birth, and baby, she is just *precious.* cute, wrinkled feet and all! 🙂

Dana – congratulations on the safe birth of your little Clara! Don’t worry about your website at this stage and just enjoy your little one as the days go by so quickly when they are young. Take it from a grandma as I would love to have those days back. Enjoy your little girl. She is so very cute.

Oh goodness! She is just perfect! Oh boy I never get tired of seeing precious newborns. I was thinking about you all weekend hoping things went well and that you were cozy and enjoying your new baby. Congratulations ! And don’t hurry back…just enjoy your sweet girl! We’ll all still be here when you decide the time is right to pop back;)

Oh my gracious, she’s amazingly precious! I’m so glad to hear everything went well. And I completely agree- birth is such an amazing experience. The pictures are all so awesome- you are super mom already!

I have to say, she is perfect. I am a mommy to 4 and love my kids with all my heart and think they are all so beautiful. But I have to say, she is the most beautiful baby! She is perfect! Congrats! How blessed you all are. Marnie

Dana, she is beautiful! Maybe the most perfect baby I’ve ever seen (and that says a lot, since my babies were also both perfect 🙂 I love that you weren’t holding baby Clara when they came in to see you and her! So thoughtful of you to have two open arms to hold both of your big kids!! Congrats again!!

I have been checking your blog every single day waiting for Clara’s pictures and you did not disappoint! She is a perfect blend between your two children, and she is so pretty! I am so excited for you, Dana!

congratulations, dana!!! she’s so beautiful and i love love the name. i just had my 4th 3 weeks ago. it’s been fun being pregnant ‘with’ you. weird? 🙂 so glad everything went well!! the pictures are awesome, love the one of the 3 kids together.

Congratulations, Dana! It makes me so broody I can’t stand it, my baby is so old now (18mo…) I love reading fast deliveries that went well 🙂 But fast IS intense. Take your time and enjoy your babymoon. Clara is beautiful! What a nice photograph subject she makes!

Beautiful birth story! My kids were the same when my hubby and I had our 3rd boy. The older two were way more interested in the construction going on out the window than their new baby bro! 😉 Congrats to you and your family. She is beautiful 🙂 xoxo {And Happy Valentines Day!!} Jennie

Congrats, Dana! You certainly are blessed! And so you don’t feel too bad about the sibling thing: my son was 3.5 when little sister was born and I didn’t get one good picture of both of them together until she was about 8 months old. Big brother just didn’t want anything to do with her. BUT now they’re great friends (now that he’s “matured” – you know – he’s 5 now, so he can teach her everything – ha!), and they have a little brother, too. Rest well, chickie. Being momma has to come before friends (even bloggy friends!) 🙂 C

yay for babies! she is darling–I love chubby cheeks and round baby heads 🙂 and also…this is probably the last thing you want to hear, but we are expecting a baby girl in April and I was so shocked (and felt somewhat connected to you) when I checked your blog and saw that you named her Clara! that’s the name we have picked for our little girl as well. ours will be Clara Momoko (the middle name is after her Japanese great-grandmother). anyway, you have great taste in names 🙂 good luck with the transition to 3, getting sleep, and all those other weird things that are happening to your body after having a baby! lol. hope you’re feeling well!

Oh, she is precious! I’d been watching on facebook, and am so happy for you and your family. I love the name you chose, and oh, those wrinkly feet are amazing. I’m so, so happy for you, Casey and the kids. Enjoy these early weeks, and get all the rest you can.

Welcome, Clara!! She is perfectly lovely! 🙂 My third baby is now 10 months old and by far my easiest baby. There’s just something about being a mother for the third time. I’ve enjoyed all my kids’ babyhoods, but #3’s has been especially delightful. I think part of it is that my other kids are now old enough to enjoy him with me.

Yay! Congratulations, what a beautiful baby, I love her hair! 3rd children are delightful, it’s God’s gift to us for having that many. 🙂 As a L&D nurse and momma I agree, birth is beautiful, amazing, hard and wonderful. So glad that you had good care and a great experience. Enjoy your days, I look forward to hearing about the baby projects when you are ready.

She is beautiful. From the first picture I though she looked like Owen! Enjoy this time when she is so little. Even I can’t believe how fast it seems Lucy and Owen have grown since I began reading your blog! Sending lots of love :]

yay!! congratulations!! she really is a beauty! i can’t believe how wrinkly her feet are! they are so adorable! this really makes me wish that my next birth was closer, still have 6 more weeks to go but i know they’ll fly by! have fun with your new family!

Congratulations to you all! And to Owen as he becomes a big brother for the first time and to Lucy as she becomes a big sister all over again. Clara is absolutely beautiful and I love her name! Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful baby!

Congratulations!!! Can’t be quiet anymore. I’m absolutely fan of your blog few years. Especially because I have already two children (big sister (11) and little brother (5)) and my family is waiting for a little wonder (I’m 28 weeks now) and it will be a girl! Your family inspire me to do something interesting and always think about family feeling inside me and my family members. Thank you! Beautiful baby! Happy mom, dad and big sister and brother!

Congratulations! What a gorgeous little girl… Wish you all the happiness for you and your wonderful family, from an almost snowed-in island in the Netherlands 😉 Enjoy this very special time! (and thanks for sharing!)

Congratulations! I’m usually not one to comment, but I couldn’t resist. When I first started reading your blog I was amused that my son (almost 5) is named Owen, and I really wanted to name my daughter (almost 2) Lucy, but couldn’t because that was my sister’s dog’s name. So she’s Clara. When I read your post jut now and saw that your sweet new dear is Clara, I thought that was kind of wild. She’s beautiful! Enjoy!

Congratulations! She so sweet ! Take your time to rest eat feed and generally to get use to the larger family of yours, we’ll be waiting patiently for you to come back… I have 3 kids and we are waiting for another one to come in august, so I permit myself to give you a tip: Let Lucy and Owen help and be part off taking care off little Clara as much as they can and want, but at this stage don’t leave them alone with her. Things can happen even with the best intention… Wish all the best!!! Yifat

Best wishes to the family and you did a great job ! She is absolutely perfect, and I LOVE the full head of hair 🙂 Take care and get as much rest as you can. Thank you for sharing your story, it was a joy to read 🙂

Welcome to the spinning world little one we are so glad you are here! Get lots of rest and spend lots of time laying in bed looking at her wrinkly little feet. Bed Rest bed rest bed rest! —From your doula viewer

Oh, Dana, many congratulations. You guys make really cute babies, don’t you? And holy smokes, she looks JUST LIKE Lucy and Owen. Love that crazy baby hair. Hugs to you all! Relax and enjoy the down time.

WOW!!! She is absolutely gorgeous!!! And she looks so mature. Not like few-days-baby. Her eyes are so big and intelligent. I couldn’t wait when you post some info about you. I was entering your site everyday and thinking:”Maybe her girl was already born?” Today while I was coming back home I was thinking what I gotta do. “So, I only check my email. I don’t have so much time. Dana didn’t publicate any news so far, so maybe today she haven’t publicated it yet” But I’m very consistent and what I saw is your beautiful baby! She has very funny hair 😀 So long and so dark. I think like you – they should get brightness.

Congratulations! I read you for a long time, but I don’t dare to write a message because of my bad English! But the arrival of your 3rd beauty motivated me to write you. Beautiful life in 5 . I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I’m a newbie to sewing, crafting and your blog. I love your tutorials and am so excited for you and your newest addition to your sweet family. I had my third child, a son, in November of 2010 and I agree whole-heartedly with your assessment of childbirth. It’s an amazing miracle that we are blessed with!

Congratulations, Dana! She’s so precious. I remember after my daughter was born last August that I had no crafty mojo whatsoever. Don’t feel pressured to come back to the blog, we know you’re busy! (But baby pictures make for quick posts, right? 😉 )

SHE IS PRECIOUS! and I love how you captured these precious moments with the rest of the family. I’m sure you will have many more touching photos to come and adorable baby girl projects! =-D You’re going to make me have a 3rd myself! ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY every minute of these precious moments! They grow too fast! Congrats on your beautiful family!

Dana, she is so beautiful!!! I want to kiss those cheeks and smell her head! I love the picture of happy Casey in the background, and I love your three little ones all together. Congratulations, she is a lucky, lucky girl to come to your awesome family!!

Congratulations Dana and Family! What a beautiful addition! Glad to hear your delivery went so smoothly! My third was much the same as yours – the doctor barely had time to put on his gloves! Hope you’re loving every second of this special time! Thanks for sharing your wonderful miracle!

Congratulations! Clara is adorable, and glad delivery went well. Now, I’m really getting excited to see our new addition (in the beginning of April). Can’t wait to see some more baby features, but enjoy some rest when you can get it 🙂

AWWW…congrats Dana! She is darling. Don’t you just love all that hair? After my son was born, I just couldn’t stop touching it because it was so soft. Best of luck to you and your family, and here’s praying for an easy time sleeping and eating.

Congratulations! She’s beautiful. I love her name. Clara was my mom and grandma’s name and is my niece’s middle name. And Rose was going to be the middle name if our recent baby had been a girl. (We have one girl and three boys). Enjoy your sweet baby.

I was a little sad that February wouldn’t be celebrate the boy (I have 5 girls of my own, so it is fun to sew and see the other side once a year:). But I do believe the CELEBRATE CLARA is so much nicer this year. Thanks for sharing some pictures and her story. We have been praying that all went well. Enjoy that bundle of LOVE today:)

Oh my, how cute is she?!!!! There is one picture were she is looking away and it reminds me of Lucy. I love the picture of all three of them together too. Best wishes! Take a break from blogging and enjoy your little one. We will all be here when you come back. 🙂

She is gorgeous and I love her hair! I feel like if our paths were ever to cross in real life we would be friends because I have two little blondes same age and gender as yours, and we just had our third on Christmas day!! That heart garland was so cute, I wish I would have thought of something like that to make our little guys baby bucket more festive:) I’m glad to hear she is so easy, and so excited for you and your family! Have a happy recovery and Valentines day!

Congrats! Our third has been the easiest – by far! Still, everyone tends to forget she is even around. I have a feeling we will pay for it in the teenage years, but for now we are enjoying her! Enjoy your fabulouse family!

Congratulations!! She is so beautiful & what a lovely name! Thank you for posting pics 🙂 And thank you for the shout out to nurses — I have just graduated from nursing school as a second career & am excited to be starting as a Labor & Delivery nurse very soon.

Hi Willards, Congratulations for the new baby born. Dana: I miss your posts but on the other hand I wish you enjoy these moments with Clara. As you said, there are moments that will pass and you will soon miss them. So just enjoy the full family and these days/weeks together. Alexandra

I can’t get enough of her. I think Clara officially made Mark baby hungry… “so when are going to have another one Sara?” I can’t wait to meet her. Please post lots of pictures in the coming weeks. And I had no idea you started school for nursing. I would LOVE to go to nursing school, just seems near impossible most days. Maybe someday. I wish I would’ve done it before having kids, but you really don’t know how amazing it is until you experience it.

Congratulations! From my personal experience tells me that any girl with that name will conquer the world or conquer lots of hearts. But that may be the same thing. The best of luck for Clara and your family.

Congratulations! Clara is beautiful – what cheeks, what hair! I love that you brought the heart garland to decorate the hospital room. Classic Dana! Thanks for sharing. It’s beautiful to see all three of your children together!

Wow! She is absolutely gorgeous! So alert, aware and divine-how did you get so lucky? I so love babies and feel blessed having the love of them in my life! Gratitude to you for sharing this fabulous moment in your family, Congratulations!

Dear Dana, I was so excited for you. Your little girl is gorgeous! you’re lucky! And also to arrive in a family like yours! You have so inspired me! Welcome to Clara ! I wish him a wonderful life surrounded by her family great. Kiss her, cherish your little princess, and the others elders brother and sister. Well, i’m french, and you know, in France, we are not good in english. And that’s my case. So i stop here, it’s better ! Have a good life with your beautiful familly. Kisses from France (under the snow … hummm i see you in short sleeve, my dream currently.) Stéphanie.

Congrats! what a beautiful little girl! I am sure Lucy and Owen will love Clara more and more everyday, and probably will fight to take care of her. Take care of yourself, don’t rush back to blog world, we will wait for you and your wonderful projects patiently! You deserve some sweet alone time with your baby.

I love the middle name! So perfect. And those are seriously the wrinkliest feet I have ever seen!!!! So precious. I also love the picture of Casey smiling and holding her close to the camera. I hope things are going well!!! talk to you soon!

You touched so many lives sharing! How precious you family is.. I am a nurse and am so grateful that you shared this… Nurses are super people, you’re very young don’t give up that hope.. Nursing is wonderful at any age and in any field.. God Bless your precious family and Thanks again for sharing.. it’s touching..

Congratulations-she’s beautiful and Owen and Lucy are too cute with her! I have a 3 month old baby girl so I definitely look forward to hearing about your new baby adventures and maybe even some baby girl DIYs (the same way I look forward to Celebrate the Boy for my first:). Enjoy every minute with your new little one!

Congratulations! I have been thinking of you as I am also coming up on my due date (3 weeks) here in Austin too! She is absolutely beautiful and I just love your story! Enjoy being a family of 5 now 🙂 And any helpful tips or information for anything about havinga girl, becoming a family of 5, etc – pass it this way! Take care mama!!

Welcome to the world, Little Clara Rose! May your journey be richly blessed and passionately lived.

Dana, all the best for a peaceful start. The fun really begins once you are outnumbered, I believe 😉 Clara Cecilia-Marie is the name of my third child and she is a real gem. (There are three siblings after her! Never a dull moment here, I tell you. All love!)

Hello Dana, I’m new to your website and just saw the photos of your beautiful baby girl! Congratulations she’s just perfect. Your website is great and I just love all your sewing projects. I wish you and your family a lot of love and happy days! Ilke

Dana! SHe is perfect perfect perfect !!! Congrats to all of you 🙂 SO happy that all went smooth with your birth 🙂 ANd being a pediatric nurse myself I totally hear you . Even thought I dont see kids born every day but I do see how we help them get better if they get sick.. though tiny bundles of joy…. Be healthy grow well and be simpy happy. Hugs and kisses to Clara and you!

Congratulations! I happened onto your site, and it was a treat to read about your newest addition! She was born on the same date as my first child ~ February 9th. I also had 2 more children after him, and I agree, the third one was the easiest. I think a lot of that is because you just can’t help but get better at your job, and after having 2, everything begins to run more smoothly – from labor to running the house! My oldest is now 27, and my advice to you is to really keep doing what you’re doing – take good care of yourself, do what you love, be yourself, and teach your children to do the same. Congratulations!

Congratulations! She is adorable! Love how chubby she already is. My third was one of my hardest! LOL! Hopefully she’ll be a good one for you. Having three kids changes things, now you don’t have enough hands. Good luck with everything. Looking forward to seeing little Clara grow up and all the cute things I’m sure you have made and will make for her. Now go get some sleep! 🙂

WOW ! I came across your site to make some shorts a few months back. Came back to grab the pattern again and wow – congratulations to you all. Welcome to the world little one from us over in Australia.

CONGRATULATIONS! She is gorgeous! And I love the name (my daughter’s name is Rose 😉 also congratulations to your kids for being new big brother/big sister 🙂 I’m sure they will be a big help…. thanks for sharing your talent and your family and your newest addition !

Congratulations! I dreamed last night that I was looking at pictures of your baby on here so I checked it right away this morning. She’s beautiful. I had my baby 4 weeks ago and we named her Cora. Your delivery and hospital story is so similar to mine. It must be something in the air. Thank you for sharing with all of us. I love being your “friend”.

Wow!! what a great news!!!! Congratulations! She’s so cute and pretty. She looks just like the others. 😉 I’m a bit jealous because I have to wait almost 3 months till I meet my baby boy. But I still have time to sew some things for him and his oldes sister and brothe.

Congratulations. So pleased all went well brought back fresh memories of my son Ethan’s birth 5 months ago. Clara is gorgeous enjoy those precious early times together with your family. Best wishes Claire x

She’s so beautiful! She’s a mixture of Owen and Lucy… Congratulations to all of you and take it easy, take your time and enjoy! Gosh, yesterday I had a moment of panic just thinking about having another one on the way… I see your post today and I think: oh yes… I’m ready to have another bundle in my arms… thank you for sharing this moment! Regards from Ireland

Dana, How exciting! I’ve been absent from the blogging world lately and had no idea a new little Williard was entering your world! Baby Clara is absolutely beautiful and I pray that your family is more than blessed by the joy that comes from your new addition.

I am happy to hear your good – no – wonderful news. What s sweet little girl! Congratulations to you and your family and take your time to get together and get to know each other – it’s such a precious time. Wishing you all the best from Germany

Welcome little Clara!!! May the Lord bless you and keep you, may His face shine upon you, may you grow up to be all you want to be. Mom, relax, take your time to heal and enjoy those first days of adjusting. from Toronto, Canada

I have been reading your blog for a while now and loving all your projects…wishing I had a little more time to try them all. But I have three wee ones too and well somehow the days fly by.

I read your comment on how the baby was loud and it took me back – my little one is now 17 months old but we used to laugh and say “that is one loud rooster” when he really got going…time flies. Congratulations to you and your family – enjoy every precious moment – it really does fly by too quickly!

I just came across your blog and I LOVE it! Congrats on your new baby girl…she is adorable and I love the pictures in this post!!! I am a huge fan of felt, so I cannot wait to take a look over all your projects:)

Congratulations!! Little Clara was born on my hubby’s birthday! I’m a long time follower, but just haven’t had much blogging time lately, so I’m just now getting around to commenting! She’s so beautiful!!

Hello! I discover your blog…Congratulations for your baby girl, she’s beautiful!!! Where can I found Clara’s clothes? It’s a body? a dress? I live in France and I never see that for my children?! Bye! Stéphanie F
